  "account": "São Paulo - Brazilian machinery and equipment exports totaled USD 10.1 billion from January to September, marking a 5.5% increase compared to the same period last year. However, the industry is experiencing a slowdown, with exports in September growing by only 0.8% to USD 1.3 billion. Imports rose 4.8% to USD 24.9 billion year-to-date. Abimaq economist Leonardo Silva attributed the positive performance of dollar-denominated exports to their sustained strength since 2023, despite exchange-rate fluctuations impacting exports in certain sectors. The main destinations for Brazilian machinery exports are the United States, Argentina, Singapore, Paraguay and Mexico. While the sector's overall revenue declined 13.4% year-to-date, reaching USD 201 billion for the period, apparent consumption fell 11.7% to USD 284.1 billion. Silva cited high interest rates as a factor negatively affecting investment and machinery purchases. The sector is expected to perform similarly in 2027, depending on the new administration's policy guidelines. Exports of agricultural machinery increased 12.1% year-to-date, with September exports reaching USD 161.6 million.",
